“There is nothing noble in being superior to some other person. The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self.” – Indian Proverb
Pictured above is my long-time client and friend Beryl. I have convinced her to give up her “traditional” gym workout and give CrossFit a 30 day trial. Her initial workout was “Drop 10” (See June 5th post) which she completed in 15:23. Great time! Beryl’s comment before we started her first CrossFit workout, “You are not going to ask me to do anything you wouldn’t ask your mother to do are you? Because her and I are about the same age you know.” To which I responded with a smile.
Today’s Workout:
“Birth of the Clean-Ball”
200m Run
20 Clean-Ball (Medicine ball clean into a wall ball throw and full squat catch then reset)
20 Pull-ups
5 rounds
Hey guys! Love your quote for today. That kind of thinking is good for keeping me humble as I develop in the world of CrossFit. Granted everything is competitive but when their is no one else to compete with do the best just stop competing? I think NOT. I think the Elite of athletes continue to compete with their inner selves to keep their spot on the totem pole. Never ever plateauing. Now thats CrossFit.
